Juergen Seuss, Gerold Dommermuth and Hans Maier did a great job editing this book. A section of 20 text pages is followed by 80 pages of grainy black and white images of the youth and Beat scene in Liverpool in the early sixties. The images literally scream yeah yeah yeah at you. A look through this book recalls all those memories of a generation holding on to the music full of hopes for a better future. The rest is history…

Accompanied by a 7″ vinyl record in picture sleeve held by a black cloth band at the back of the book. The single features the Clayton Squares recorded at the Cavern Club on the A-side, and the B-side has The Hideaways recorded at the Sink Club. The square format of this book underlines the feeling that you are holding a specially-packaged vinyl record in your hands. And you do.
